Square Enix should hire Asmongold as an adviser

[Soraki-Muppe]

Even though I find the fellow amusing, no. What they should do is put out a survey at the end of each expansion asking the players how they rank different parts of the game, and if they would like more or less of some content. Also throwing in some question about certain features people on the forum have asked about to see if the general playerbase want it or not.
And to make people take the survey, throw them a mount or something like that and I am sure most would take it.

A question could be: Did you do the relic this expansion: yes/no, followed by If yes rank the parts of doing the relic, if no why not with some options and a write in.

the guy ragged on FFXIV for years as a weeb game filled with catgirls while playing a cartoon game filled with green people and gargantuan belt buckles, only came here to make money.

can he play an mmo, yes, so can most of us.

does that make him uber qualified to be an adviser? nope.

I know his fans think he can walk on water, cure the sick and bring back the dead, but he's not all that special

There is a reason gamers don't make good game designers.

Absolutely this!

And especially NOT Asmongold.

This same post, but with game name changed, was posted in the WoW forum.

OP is just trolling both games as a shill for asmondgold.

This^ troll is troll

Couldn't agree more.

He played the same game for 15+ years, he's not experienced with anything outside of WoW.

So no.

Asmongold seems particularly awful about learning anything on his own time, too. He’s still asking ARR-tier questions, then gets frustrated when he doesn’t understand the answers chat gives him.

And he doesn’t seem to be looking them up again later, because he’ll ask them again.

An advisor would need to be willing to research answers that are readily available before forming a useful opinion, and I don’t think we’re there with Asmon just yet. Still perfectly fine to give feedback, with the understanding it might go straight to trash if he’s suggesting something that’s outside his very limited experience.

It is not necessarily true. Jeff "Tigole" Kaplan was a hardcore Everquest player and was one of the most important designers of WoW vanilla and later he was the lead designer of Overwatch. His games were very successful.

I have to say I'm very disappointed at the standards of troll threads lately, this one is a 2/10 at best. I remember the good old days when a troll would enrage a forum while making what to others looked like a legitimate post. It was subtle, it was clever, it took social skills to pull off. This is so obviously trolling It barely deserves be called trolling.

Literally the easiest forum to bait rofl.

Now let's see what we have here.



Because he's more important to SE than you. Simple as that.

If you're deluded enough to think that then go ahead. He's only important if at all to his social media platform and nothing more and the extent of it is likely limited to just 1 region in the world while being completely non-existent outside that bubble. In the end he's just another consumer or player. Just because you want to place him on some kind of pedestal doesn't mean everyone else will too.
